Hello? Anyone out there?

I've kept this blog bookmarked on my tabs for years now, even though I haven't updated at all since 2017. 

I was just reading through some old, emotional entries and felt like I should take up blogging again. For example, I didn't even remember in the slightest about my premed struggles that seemed SO BIG and so crushing at the time. Maybe I was just very dramatic. You'd think I would remember something as important as almost not getting to go to medical school because a missed TB test deadline. 2013 was a wild year, apparently. 

Eight years later, my days are concerned with me not killing patients, making pathological diagnoses, publishing research, and doctoring stuff. I don't know if it's the pandemic, or if I've mellowed out over the years, but the highs don't feel as high and the lows don't seem as low. I'm just...chugging along. Contentedly, usually. Boring, mostly. 

Maybe I'lll start fresh on a new blog, I don't know. I did medschoolbaking for a while and ended up abandoning it when it was just starting to get big in the medblr circles (is that still a thing?) I get nervous when things I put into the world get noticed.
